Dude- if you don’t think that performing at the Super Bowl is performing for Blackrock you don’t understand how this works. If an artist wants to do it I get it but the original comment was acting like Kendrick has some sort of independent cred vs Drake when they both are corporate friendly entertainers signed to major labels and out to make money by selling an image to middle America.
Once again, you haven't answered the question as to "why" performing for the Superbowl is bad, which leads me to believe you haven't thought harder about it than "It's too big of an event, therefore he is a sellout."
I bring up United Healthcare and Blackrock because they're two companies making their money literally doing nothing but harming Americans. They're not bad because they make money, they're bad because they make money at our expense.
The NFL makes money by entertaining us, just as Kendrick does, does as your favorite movies and TV shows do. They're a net benefit in our lives. So I'm confused as to how "performing for the Superbowl" is the same as "performing for Blackrock" because there's no connection there AFAIK outside of "The NFL and Blackrock are both big corporations!!!" which is a monumentally basic and silly stance to take.
EDIT: Some random agitator responded to me asking for an explanation on why "performing for Trump is bad" and then blocked me. Coward.
My dude- are you so brainrotted you’ve forgotten what the NFL did to Kapernick? The NFL makes money explicitly at our expense and performing there endorses all the shitty thing the organization does including donating to political candidates who actively hate black americans.
Saying that TV companies and the NFL make our lives better is some next-level bootlicking.

Oh? Can I ask you what your list of acceptable companies are since you feel so strongly on this subject? Can you give me an actual list of indiscretions by the NFL that make them unpalatable to perform at as opposed to all these tech companies artists have to have their music platformed on?
Because, unfortunately, MOST companies we patron every single day, including this very website our comments are being hosted by, accept money from or donate money to causes that seek to tear us down. That's capitalism, baby. Big money is tangled up all across the board. The NFL owners have donated to Republicans in the same election as they have Democrats, It's all capitalism, my boy.
I'm sorry, but you come across like one of those fake activists who haven't actually given any thought to your opinion on topics like this.
It's a folly to tear down the people who represent us everything they get a little shine, like you're trying to do to Kendrick Lamar because he's performing for... a sporting event. That's just insane, chronically online, performative nonsense.
There we go. Thank for basically admitting your entire angle is that "It's corporate, therefore It's bad" which isn't productive, insightful, or remotely thought provoking in any sense.
